Yet another iconic Hindi movie is set for a remake! Well-known filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor, who recently helmed Kedarnath (2018), is gearing up to remake the Amitabh Bachchan starrer cult film Sharaabi (1984).

According to reports, the movie will be a comic drama about a dysfunctional alcoholic. The makers are presently busy locking actors for it. Well, we are eager to know who will play Mr Bachchan’s part in it.

The remake will be bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar and Abhishek Kapoor’s wife Pragya Kapoor. The team is planning to kick-start the shoot very soon.

"Bhushanji and I have been talking of collaboration for quite some time now. We wanted it to be special. Sharaabi will be the right concoction of comedy, drama and music to build this association,” said director Abhishek Kapoor.

Producer Pragya Kapoor added, "We are currently in talks for the casting but it’s too soon to talk about it. A formal announcement will be made soon and it’s definitely going be special because it’s a titular role.”

Randhir Kapoor once called Sunjay Kapur a third-class man and said Karisma may never remarry after divorce

In the wake of businessman Sunjay Kapur’s sudden death on 12 June 2025, attention has turned to Karisma Kapoor’s personal life and her past marriage. The former couple, who tied the knot in 2003, split in 2014 and finalised their divorce in 2016 after a long legal battle. Their marriage had been fraught with tension, and Karisma’s father, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor, had openly voiced his disapproval of the union.

‘She doesn’t need to remarry, she’s content being a mother’

Following their split, Karisma’s name was occasionally linked with businessman Sandeep Toshniwal, though neither ever confirmed a relationship. In a 2017 interview, Randhir Kapoor was asked whether Karisma planned to marry again. He replied that she was happy, settled, and completely devoted to her children, Samaira and Kiaan.

'28 Years Later' review round-up: Ralph Fiennes shines in Boyle and Garland’s messy, magnetic return to Britain’s infected world

It’s been over two decades since 28 Days Later redefined zombie horror, and now director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland have returned with 28 Years Later, a sequel that critics describe as strange, thrilling and unlike anything else in the genre right now.
Reviews across the board agree on one thing: this isn’t a typical follow-up. Instead of repeating past glories, 28 Years Later throws viewers into a mutated Britain trapped in isolation, where the infected are evolving, and survival feels like medieval warfare.
